Question

In the United States, overweight and obesity are widespread nutritional problems that have reached epidemic proportions. An overweight person has extra body weight that is contributed by bone, muscle, body fat, and/or body water. Obesity, however, is a condition characterized by excessive and unhealthy amounts of body fat. Some body fat is essential for good health, but people who are overweight or obese ("overfat") have a greater risk for serious, chronic health conditions and diseases To determine whether a person's weight is underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese, medical experts generally use the body mass index (BMI). The BMI is a numerical value based on the relationship between body weight and height, and it can be a first step in evaluating a person's risk of chronic health problems associated with excess body fat. The BMI can be a reliable indicator of body fatness. However, the usefulness of the BMI may be limited when assessing the health of highly muscular individuals, older adults, and chronically ill persons. Someone with a high degree of muscularity may have an elevated BMI, but low percent body fat. BMI also does not take into account a person's sex or race. It is possible for a person with low muscularity and a physically inactive lifestyle to have a normal ("healthy) BMI and also have a high percentage of body fat. This condition is referred to as normal weight obesity (NWO). Normal weight obesity is more prevalent in women and is most common among Americans between 65 and 75 years of age. Those with NWO have an increased risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and coronary artery disease.
